I look forward to seeing the movie, and I thank God that God took a real human being with real questions and real flaws to use him in such a truly remarkable way.

Of course, God may never use me or you in such an worldwide way in front of cameras, but the message to me is clear: If I surrender fully - even with all of my questions - God can answer all questions in Himself (even if my mind may not understand until heaven) and God can use me to fulfill His plan for me.

Praise God!

McCain Asks NC GOP Not to Run Wright-Obama Ad

I think the GOP, and all people, need to take a look at the Reverend Jeremiah Wright issue, and how the "radical black theology" is affecting Senator Barack Obama.

I am not doubting that Senator Obama is a loyal American who loves his country. I am bothered a great deal by his pastor who would use the Lord's name in vain and then curse others in the name of the Lord. This from a pastor - when Jesus said that we are to bless and not curse.

I am troubled by this and other issues related to where Senator Obama worships. This can be done in a thought provoking and issue centered, positive way - and this is the only way to address it. However, how these ideas affect or are rooted in Senator Barack Obama need to be addressed - directly, in love and in respect for others.

Black Christian 'Racialism' Challenges Faith in America

I really agree with the author Pamela G. Wilson in her book entitled, Finding Soul Brothers: Dismantling Black Christian Racialism in what she writes.

Regardless of one's particular physical race, 'there is no Greek or Jew, black or white, male or female" (Galatians 3:28). Certainly that means that where the God's Word (the Scripture) is clear, then all believers in Christ should be equally clear and united together under the authority of the Lord Jesus together.

Of course (and thankfully so), there are things we can learn from each other's unique background and family history than can enrich each other in our walk with the Lord. But, we are all one in Christ - and we have the opportunity to walk in the unity of God's Truth together.
